Sht.....building my keezer this weekend...need to figure something out here.

I had a cat drain a keg of imperial stout once, luckily I heard a hissing noise and shut the tap before the CO2 bottle was empty. SO I devised a simple bungie cord system to make the taps hard to open. I use a freezer with a wooden lid so I put a couple of eye hooks in the lid and ran the bungie from hook to hook across the taps. Problem solved. I can still pull the tap hard enough to get beer and it's very easy to remove for parties.

Cat+gun+shovel=problem fixed

I'd have gone ballistic and tested the ballistics of my new .40 S&W handloads on some cat fur!

I honestly have no idea what possesses people to want a cat in the house. A stuffed cat would make more sense if you want a companion as real cats are never around unless they want food or to eff with your stuff.

Or just cat+shovel would work.

If an animal was meant to live inside then they should have been given the sense to build their own house and not make a mess of it. Otherwise they are fine outside where they belong.

If it would have been my beer it would have been a short rope and long drive but I figured some PETA nut case would whine about me saying it.

I am not a big cat fan, but my kids cat is more like a dog. It is always under foot and if you sit, it is there wanting the attention. (my wife says it is mine it is always in my chair or sleeping on my side of the bed). That and it will tolerate my middle kid he is an autistic child and picks it up in all sort of ( I am sure painful positions) with no scratching or biting. The cat will just lay back and go rag-doll on him and take the next hour of being held like it was his mission in life to be nice. Or it will ambush the kids as they walk around the corner. It is a great game they play.

I'm a dog person but even our dogs don't get free run of the house or even the basement where they sleep. They get a fenced yard to run by day, trips to the park or the farm every week on leash and a comfy crate to sleep at night in a heated basement. They are perfectly content and do not get the chance to destroy the house.

A dog would never do such a horrible thing.

Well, yes a dog would, but a dog would do it out of exuberant stupidity, and would then show he feels bad about doing something bad. A cat does it vindictively and then looks at you with the "Yeah? What the f*** you gonna do about it?" look on its face.

Some of the dogs I've known would do it, drink every drop, eat everything they could find and puke all over the place.

Wait, I just described most of my friends.

Hahaha! We have 3 cats, they kill mice in the winter, so they get to stay, but they love to throw things off the counter for the dog to chew up. Mainly tubes of chap stick, don't know why, but they always do it if we slip up and leave it laying around. Poor damn dog always looks guilty when we get home and she has filled up on chap stick or burts bees. She's just doing what the cats want her to do. I'll usually whack one of the mouse killers with a shoe or something to get even.

Had a cat that acted similar to this, in fact mentioned this in another thread. Big difference is the cat didn't want the kids near her unless we were in the car then she only wanted to sit in my sons lap... I never understood that. Anywho she met me at the door every morning after work, followed me around like a puppy, slept on my side, always in my chair or lap, blaahhh blah blah... Then one Friday morning after work I had stuff to do after lunch so drank my beer and layer back in my recliner for a nap. Was woke from a deep sleep with a car squatting in my lap pissing. Needless to say we no longer have a cat and wont be getting another any time soon. That was the only cat I've ever really trusted or remotely liked and it did that shiz to me. To hell with the whole species as far as I care.

Time to get a beer guard dog darwin

You didn't dry hop with Simcoe, did you??

Unfortunately I do happen to like this cat. He is very dog like in that he follows us around the house, greets us when we come home, and likes to sit on the floor next us in the living room. He's never in our faces and doesn't scratch, hiss, or do terrible cat things. It's my own fault. I've seen him laying ontop of the kegerator the last few years watching the birds out of the garage window and thought it was cute....I think I'm going to bungie cord the handles though going forward.

I keep a spray bottle full of water for fighting boilovers during hot break. It also lets the cat know when I don't want him on something. It bothers the cat enough to make him get down but it doesn't hurt the little guy. After just a few squirts he associates the bottle with immediately getting back on the floor, so now all I have to do is pick up the bottle and he knows what to do (my cat is also pretty dog-like). I think he also now associates places like the kitchen counter, fermenters, and my record player with being squirted and he doesn't even bother climbing on those things anymore.

 

[snccoulter]

We used the squirt bottle on ours also if it would get on the counter. The funny thing is we would use the squirt bottle on our St. Bernard if he was misbehaving. He will turn himself inside out when he gets squirted, trying to get out of the path of the

We feel very different than than the dog(s) owner in an earlier post. They do have run of the house, and of the backyard. They do not chew or urinate, or leave anything that was once in their body in the house either. Heidi is a purebred 80 pound marshmallow, also known as a Doberman. We adopted her from the pound 2 years ago Christmas, and could not be happier. I have over 3000 hours with her, and her behavior is what I tell her to do. She is a candidate for a Therapy Dog, and it makes me proud Every day she and her half sister Catherine (a 50 pound Rotti-Dobe mix) go run on the trails we have close by. They get at least 30 minutes of chasing the bunnies every day. Neither dogs is the slightest bit aggressive in their nature. They walk off leash and stay by by feet. If a stray or otherwise aggressive dog comes toward them, they are zero reactive. I tell them to stay (and they do) while I am taking on the dog of a careless owner. I am sorry for saying this, but if any dog is going to get hurt by attacking it will not be mine, and I will use deadly force to protect them. As I write this, she is laying against the back of my chair, as always, kind and loving as she can be.

Time to lock them tap handles in the closed position. I had a 3 year old do that to 3 kegs and a 20lb tank of CO2 My wife is snickering at that memory now...

My 2 year old did the same thing. 6 gallons of beer and a co2 tank. I now shut off the co2 valve when I am not using my keezer.

Just buried the family cat. Everyone (minus 1) cried.
